FP2003 and Popup Windows

Hi all,

I'd like to have my Website open a Popup window upon page loading. The
purpose of the pop-up would be to share important information that I really
want to draw attention to. In FrontPage 2003, under the "Behaviors" menu, I
can do things like call scripts and open browser windows, but I can't do it
upon page load. I noticed that there's lots of other options, onmousemove,
onkeyup, onmouseover, etc, but nothing about "onpageload".

I just want the window to open when the page initially loads. The person can
read the window and close it, then be done with it.

Also, the home page in question is a frame page. Should I load the popup
script of the frames page or in one of the pages within the frame? Thanks in
advance for any replies.

Hi Viken,

Take a look at J-Bots Pop-up Window / Close Window components.

FYI: Popup onloads are blocked by popup stopper application.

Probably because it is called onload not onpageload. You must ofcourse
select the body tag for this option to be available.
Notice that you may want to rethink this because most browsers will
block this sort of popup (IE6 with SP2). Consider a regular link,
button or image that the user can click on to open the popup.

the correct 'call' for the function is onload="openwindow();" and this goes in
your body tag.

it's just "onload" not "onpageload"

openwindow()?

BTW, anyone who wants to open a child window should read the following
information from Microsoft:
